Britain developed rapidly with the advantage of completing the first industrial revolution first, and further developed its capitalism by constantly improving the constitutional monarchy. Britain also tactfully seized the opportunity, actively expanded overseas, opened up a vast overseas market, plundered a large number of production materials, and created conditions for the development of its modern industry, so it once became the overlord at sea. However, due to the injustice of its overseas expansion and the challenge of the later rising capitalist countries, its hegemonic position was shaken (World War I). And the establishment of the fascist regime further weakened its strength (World War II). In addition, its imperfect foreign restitution policy seriously violated the interests of defeated countries and their overseas colonial people (the United States is an example), which led to the turmoil in the capitalist international community, and the economic and political advantages that Eastern European countries have always maintained in the world were replaced by the United States and the Soviet Union.

With the economic and social stability under the socialist system, the Soviet Union achieved industrialization within ten years, and its economic strength was greatly enhanced, laying the foundation for it to become one of the five largest countries in the world. However, in the end, due to the highly centralized economic and political system (also known as Stalin model), it seriously violated the interests of the vast number of Soviet people and eventually disintegrated.

In the end, the United States became the only superpower in the world. Investigate its reason, we can see that when Americans encounter economic crisis, they will promptly introduce corresponding economic policies to solve the crisis. In addition, its authorities are good at compromising with the people, the proletariat and the middle class, thus avoiding the occurrence of socialist revolution. Moreover, when confronting the Soviet Union, the United States is good at wooing other countries and confronting the Soviet Union (such as establishing diplomatic relations with China).

China's reform and opening up is precisely the manifestation of the government's compromise with the people, because once the government suppresses the people to a high degree, it will lead to the collapse of the regime (the Soviet Union is an example). Therefore, China should learn from Britain and seize the opportunity; We should learn from the United States, constantly improve democracy and legal system, improve people's lives, be good at uniting all forces that can be United overseas, confront those anti-China forces, create a good international environment for the healthy development of the country, ensure the realization of common ideals, and even realize communism.

Of course, we should also appropriately improve our national defense strength. This requires attaching great importance to the development of science and technology, improving the social status and political rights of intellectuals and mobilizing their enthusiasm for scientific research. The development of science and technology must also develop education, which requires the education department to continuously promote educational innovation. China's education pays more attention to theoretical basis than practical learning, which has advantages and disadvantages, so it leads to a large number of brain drain and must be reformed. We must keep college students busy and let teachers teach them. Moreover, it is necessary to change the concept of education, change the traditional "teaching" into "service", and avoid some students from being tired of learning and thus having no sense of social responsibility. After all this is solved, technology will surely advance by leaps and bounds. But it is actually very difficult to do so, and the government is unwilling to do so. Reform will inevitably infringe on the interests of corrupt people, and reformers should not be afraid of death.

In short, today's China should know how to endure, dare to be humiliated, endure temporary humiliation and gain respect for life.
